Does anybody know of this problem when using your laptop and notice some graphics on
websites, missing click buttons, missing colored graphic headers missing, they just
seem to become transparent, I have a desktop and have more details on my viewing
web pages, is there something setup wrong on my laptop?

Thanks

Check to ensure that you have the recommended version of Java installed for your operating system, by clicking --> HERE (http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1)

Also here is a good guide to follow:

You may wish to Print this page

Inside Internet Explorer click on "Tools" on the toolbar
(Note: in IE7, you may need to press ALT on the keyboard to see the IE toolbar)

After clicking on "Tools" click on "Internet Options"


The first window you are presented with will be the "General" tab settings
Inside the "General" tab you can select "Delete..."
The next popup window will ask you what to delete.
You can select one button at a time, or "Delete all", answering Yes

Once this is completed (and it may take some time to do) Continue on:

Still in the General Tab

Click on "Settings" (next to Delete)
Change the "Disk space to use" to 65
Select OK

Now, go to the Security tab

Click on "Custom Level"
Click on "Reset"
Click on "OK"

Now go to the Privacy tab

What I do in here, is move the vertical slider slighty up or down
This allows "Default" to highlight
Click on "Default" (the slider will come back down)
Click on Apply

At last go to the Advanced tab

Click on "Restore advanced settings" (a bad way of saying default)
Also if you scroll down the list, you will find "Phishing Filter" (I usually disable this annoying popup)
Click on Apply
Click on OK

Restart Internet Explorer

Now, please try those sites again

I did try these instructions, but still have missing buttons like the ones for logging out of
websites ect... does anybody have anything else I can try?

Go to Control Panel--> Java and update it
Make sure Javascript is enabled (default=Yes)
Also go to adobe.com and update Flash
It is also wise to clear out all your Temp files

There is another option, and that is if you have your Firewall (or any other 3rd party program) settings too High (stopping activeX or even cookies)

would you please tell us what browser you use and if you use any plugins or tools to control certain functions within the browser? do you have exactly the same config on both computers?
I don't think buttons / pictures not shown is a java problem. its somewhere in the config. like there is a setting to show graphics an web pages or just to show a "placeholder".
